Utility class that makes any derived class non-copyable.
This class makes its instances non-copyable, by explicitly disabling its copy constructor and its assignment operator.
To create a non-copyable class, simply inherit from sf::NonCopyable.
The type of inheritance (public or private) doesn't matter, the copy constructor and assignment operator are declared private in sf::NonCopyable so they will end up being inaccessible in both cases. Thus you can use a shorter syntax for inheriting from it (see below).
Usage example:
Deciding whether the instances of a class can be copied or not is a very important design choice. You are strongly encouraged to think about it before writing a class, and to use sf::NonCopyable when necessary to prevent many potential future errors when using it. This is also a very important indication to users of your class.

Default constructor.
Because this class has a copy constructor, the compiler will not automatically generate the default constructor. That's why we must define it explicitly.

Default destructor.
By declaring a protected destructor it's impossible to call delete on a pointer of sf::NonCopyable, thus preventing possible resource leaks.
